Any feeling it could be related to contacts or whatever in the rotating head? Can it be taken apart and cleaned?

I know you probably already tried this, but did you put the original battery and cap back on to see if it works?
And did you install the battery correctly? Button (+) side facing outward in this flashlight.

I think I remember reading something about one of these having similar problems. Did you take the battery out while it was switched on, or was it in the off position?
I seem to recall if you take the battery out while its in one of the on positions, is messes up the micro controller. I don't remember how to fix it though. If you do a search, you should be able to find the thread I'm talking about.

The fix was leaving the battery out for an extended period (five minutes or more)....

My 24/7 arrived with only 4 of the positions working properly. I tried EVERYTHING... taking the battery out, leaving it out for 24 hours, reinserting it in various switch positions, etc. Every technique in every message I could find was applied with mixed, but not correct results.
Sometimes the unit works in different switch positions, but it's not consistant. The dealer is sending a replacement light.
So, sometimes all the voodoo in the world won't fix a flaky microprocessor or switch < s >
